Cardiac-specific overexpression of GTP cyclohydrolase 1 restores ischaemic preconditioning during hyperglycaemiaZhi Dong Ge
Department of Anesthesiology, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
Cardiovasc Res 91:340-9. 2011....
Isoflurane postconditioning protects against reperfusion injury by preventing mitochondrial permeability transition by an endothelial nitric oxide synthase-dependent mechanismZhi Dong Ge
Department of Anesthesiology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, USA
Anesthesiology 112:73-85. 2010..The role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in isoflurane postconditioning (IsoPC)-elicited cardioprotection is poorly understood. The authors addressed this issue using eNOS mice...
Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion reduce the levels of cyclic ADP-ribose in rat myocardiumZhi Dong Ge
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, USA
Basic Res Cardiol 97:312-9. 2002..These results suggest that myocardial ischemia and reperfusion decrease cADPR in the myocardium by increasing its hydrolysis. Tissue hypoxia may be one of the important mechanisms to activate cADPR hydrolase...
Decreased tetrahydrobiopterin and disrupted association of Hsp90 with eNOS by hyperglycemia impair myocardial ischemic preconditioningNikolina Vladic
Department of Anesthesiology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 301:H2130-9. 2011..The results suggest that eNOS dysregulation may be a central mechanism of impaired cardioprotection during hyperglycemia...
A(3) adenosine receptor activation during reperfusion reduces infarct size through actions on bone marrow-derived cellsZhi Dong Ge
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
J Mol Cell Cardiol 49:280-6. 2010....
Comparison of three different A1 adenosine receptor antagonists on infarct size and multiple cycle ischemic preconditioning in anesthetized dogsJohn A Auchampach
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
J Pharmacol Exp Ther 308:846-56. 2004..We discuss the possibility that the cardioprotective actions of CPX and BG 9928 may be related to antagonism of A(2B)ARs...
The A3 adenosine receptor agonist CP-532,903 [N6-(2,5-dichlorobenzyl)-3'-aminoadenosine-5'-N-methylcarboxamide] protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury via the sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive potassium channelTina C Wan
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Road, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
J Pharmacol Exp Ther 324:234-43. 2008..We conclude that CP-532,903 is a highly selective agonist of the mouse A(3)AR that protects against ischemia/reperfusion injury by activating sarcolemmal K(ATP) channels...
Cardiac myocyte-specific overexpression of human GTP cyclohydrolase I protects against acute cardiac allograft rejectionIrina A Ionova
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplant Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin, 9200 West Wisconsin Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 299:H88-96. 2010..The mechanism of the decreased rejection appears related to decreased T cell proliferation and modulation of immune function by higher expression of genes involved in hematopoietic/stromal cell development and recruitment...
Role of ADP-ribose in 11,12-EET-induced activation of K(Ca) channels in coronary arterial smooth muscle cellsPin Lan Li
Department of Pharmacology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53226, USA
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 282:H1229-36. 2002....
Cyclic ADP-ribose contributes to contraction and Ca2+ release by M1 muscarinic receptor activation in coronary arterial smooth muscleZhi Dong Ge
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee 53226, USA
J Vasc Res 40:28-36. 2003..These results suggest that the cADPR signaling pathway participates in the contraction of small coronary arterial smooth muscle and Ca(2+) release induced by activation of M(1) muscarinic receptors...
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 4-deficient mice exhibit impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine in vitro and in vivoDavid X Zhang
Department of Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin, 8701 Watertown Plank Rd, Milwaukee, WI 53226, USA
Hypertension 53:532-8. 2009..These findings may provide novel insight into mechanisms of Ca2+ entry evoked by chemical agonists in endothelial cells...
